I see Steem as being much more than this demo app that was set up to demonstrate to the world how Steem works. I have already begun a series showing how it can benefit pre existing businesses to keep more of their cash flow, or expand their cash flow.

Steemit as a social site has created a strong core, yet I wonder how much ill will has also been created by the masses who came, became disappointed or angry and left. For Steem to reach a high level in market ranking and valuation, eyes must be turned outside of the current model. Simply shifting stake values and payouts within the already existing community is not the way towards mass adoption.

Ideally, programmers will breakdown (what I have begun demonstrating for those with programming abilities) what needs businesses have that are not being met currently and create a program that would link Steem to their business model to solve the issues.

Having said all that, I do see the social aspect being a large part of it. I see better versions coming along (such as Kure promises to be). Dan created Steem ultimately to make the entry into tokens easier. So far, the disconnect even in the social side has not explored much in the way of client experience. So much possibility if programmers can see one of the many visions possible and build it to satisfy.
